It’s time to make a plan to vote at the polls this Tuesday, November 8th. This year's election will be the first in over 50 years without the full protection of the Voting Rights Act. Despite countless attempts to suppress voter turnout, people across Virginia are more motivated than ever to get to the polls -- to vote for racial justice, for immigration reform, for quality public schools and lowering student debt. The following information echoes a recent newsletter from the New Virginia Majority that we want to pass on. They are urging us to make a plan to ensure our voices are heard on all these issues. Are you ready to play your role in our democracy and exercise your right to vote? Here are some tips to help you prepare for this important and historic Election Day. Do you have a plan? Double check the weather. Be prepared for long lines! Do you have a valid photo ID? Virginia law now requires all voters to show an acceptable form of photo ID at the polls. You can apply for a FREE voter photo ID card at any voter registration office throughout the year, even on Election Day. Do you know what’s on your ballot?

In This Issue: View this email in your browser Keep the Good Work Going. The Virginia Voter Express Issue No. 16-28 November 12, 2016 The Struggle Continues The long exhausting election cycle has finally ended, but the challenges continue, more intense than ever. The League of Women Voters of Virginia is proud of the stalwart defense of voting rights that we have helped advance during this election season Leaguers all over the state spent hours helping people register to vote—at schools, farmers markets, naturalization ceremonies, grocery stores-- we encouraged them to vote online, we supported the extension of the registration period when process broke down. Starting back at the time of the primary, we found dozens of ways to send out information about voting times and places and voting regulations. We took part in a law suit to stop the purging of voters illegally. We set up local issue forums and candidate debates and meetings so as to accomplish our core mission of having voters be informed. We think we can count on legislation being proposed during the next General Assembly that will try to limit access to the vote. The fight to end gerrymandering will be reaching a critical stage. We have seen what has happened to voters in North Carolina, just across the border. We all must remain vigilant during this next legislative cycle. The League’s efforts to protect the vote has been going on for 96 years; we have had a lot of experience!! If you are as determined as we are to keep fighting for our long-held mission, give us even a small amount now so that we can keep operating.

It is a musical about the vote by a Tennessee legislator that allowed the 19th Amendment to be implemented. Leaguers took the opportunity to talk about the League’s crucial role immediately following the granting of suffrage to women with their plan, still in place after 96 years, of educating and empowering all voters. Virginia State Board Co-President Lois Page, and Communications Director Ron Page were guests of Washington County President Merry Jennings for the Oct. 29 production. Lois had the opportunity to serve as a panelist and welcomed the chance to talk about the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial. They also explored with the play producers the idea of putting on the play in the northern Virginia area. Panel members (l-r) Page, Jennings and Bush, answer questions and discuss the moral message of the production. Why Should D.C. Become a State? Discuss! Representatives from the State Board, Fairfax, Prince William and Arlington Leagues recently met with D.C Leaguers to discuss their upcoming push for statehood which has been energized by the recent overwhelming vote in favor by D.C residents and the acceptance of a state Constitution. State Board Co-Presidents Lois Page and Dianne Blais urge local Leagues to consider putting on a program or discussion session using some of the materials suggested on the LWVUS website. Statehood for D.C. is an LWV priority. D.C. President Linda Beebe writes: "Here is the link to the materials now on the LWV Management Site that will be useful in providing discussion information." http://forum.lwv.org/category/member-resources/our-work/voter-protection Unfortunately, not everything is there yet, and we are hoping to package it in a different way.

  • 2020 VPAP Annual Report
    Staying Nimble FINDING NEW WAYS TO ELEVATE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING Top of the News 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Ballot ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Letter from the Board Chair On many levels, 2020 was both historic and humbling. A global pandemic and economic crisis. Social unrest and calls for racial justice. Political extremism and democracy under siege. Any one of these topics would be enough to contend with in a normal year, but at once 2020 brought many issues into plain sight. What we learned last year is that at a time of uncertainty and upheaval, the public’s hunger for reliable news and information grows exponentially. The STAFF challenge for the Virginia Public Access Project was to meet that demand, while adapting to remote work and rethinking nearly every aspect of our operation. David M. Poole Executive Director We enhanced VaNews to add “Top of the News” for those who value a quick summary of headlines. We developed a COVID-19 dashboard to make it easy Ric Arenstein to track coronavirus cases and deaths as reported by the Virginia Department Major Gifts Officer of Health. And we modified our traditional election night coverage to account for early voting and delayed returns. Rachel Dominy Graphic Design and I am proud of the many ways, large and small, the VPAP team seized Communications Manager opportunity and adapted during such a challenging year. You will find a few of those instances outlined in this annual report. Jason Kostyk Data Developer All of this success was made possible by the encouragement and support of our nearly 1,500 donors.

Photo by Michaele White | Governor’s Office The Virginia Association of Counties, the Virginia Municipal League and Virginia First Cities met with Governor Terry McAuliffe and his staff on September 29 to discuss key issues of importance to local government in the upcoming General Assembly session, beginning with an update from the Task Force for Local Government Mandate Review and concluding with a robust discussion among local elected officials about shared concerns. Governor McAuliffe provided an overview of his Administration’s recent accomplishments, including an agreement on improvements to Interstate 66, enhancements to the school breakfast program, efforts to expand the capacity of the Port of Virginia and work to assist Dulles Airport with retention of its major carriers (the Governor later announced United Airlines had agreed to a long-term lease extension that afternoon). The Governor reiterated the need to diversify Virginia’s economy and lessen its dependence on federal spending, particularly in light of a potential second round of sequestration scheduled to take place in October 2017. He signaled that Medicaid expansion remains a priority for his Administration, though he indicated that he remains at an impasse with the majority in the General Assembly on this issue.

I am proud to say that we have kept my promises and never stopped fi ghting for what is right. 30 Keeping Virginians Safe Today, it’s clear our Commonwealth is changing for the better. Unemployment is at its lowest point in nearly 34 Transforming Transportation a decade and the new Virginia economy is rich with opportunity. We’ve signifi cantly expanded workforce training opportunities, jump-started veteran hiring initiatives, and kicked off a redesign of our high school 38 Protecting Our Natural Resources curriculum. Together, we have embraced an inclusive approach to governing, making Virginia an even more open and welcoming place to live, work, and raise a family. While we met resistance at times along the way, we have never stopped searching for common ground. As governor, I vetoed a record 120 bills that would have pulled Virginia backwards, but I am even prouder to have signed thousands of bills from both sides of the aisle that moved our Commonwealth forward. It’s easy to focus on the facts and fi gures of all we have accomplished but, after four years as your governor, I am certain that my administration’s most meaningful legacy will carry on in the individual lives we impacted.

An overview of county government and the work of county supervisors will also be covered. Scheduled sessions are: • Public Records and Freedom of Information Act • Health and Human Resources • Update on County and School Workforce Retirement Practices • Land Use/Planning • Budget Workshop • Building Relationships through Visioning • Environment • Transportation • Conflicts of Interest and Ethics • Leadership Education is one of VACo’s central pillars. The educational forum has been offered every other year for the past 20 years to coincide with induction of newly elected supervisors. Newly elected and incumbent supervisors, chief county administrative officers and other government managers who have attended in the past have said they leave with information they need to steer their locality forward in a positive direction.

  • Orientation Conference Program
    2017 GO Virginia Orientation Conference April 20, 2017 DoubleTree by Hilton Richmond, VA Hosted by: The Virginia Growth and Opportunity Board About GO Virginia The Virginia Initiative for Growth and Opportunity in Each Region (GO Virginia) was initiated in 2015 by Virginia’s senior business leadership to foster private- sector growth and job creation through state incentives for regional collaboration by business, education, and government. Virginia’s economic growth now lags that of its traditional competitors and the nation as a whole, principally because of the loss of higher paying jobs tied to federal spending and a lack of diversity in Virginia’s economic drivers. The GO Virginia coalition successfully worked in a bipartisan manner with the General Assembly and Governor McAuliffe to pass a legislative package during the 2016 session to provide a framework for regional collaboration to grow and diversify the state’s economy. The state budget includes funding to encourage localities to work together on priorities identified by the nine Board- designated regional councils to accomplish this goal. As the GO Virginia effort now transitions from concept to implementation, the coalition will continue to raise awareness of the economic challenges facing the state and the need for continued support of the effort. The 2016 legislation also created the Virginia Growth and Opportunity Board, a 24 member group composed of private-sector business leaders, legislators, and members of the Governor’s Cabinet, which will approve the incentive grant awards and assist the regions in the development and implementation of their growth and diversification plans. The grant program is administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.
